Eisai (ESALY) and Biogen (BIIB) announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has accepted the Biologics License Application, or BLA, under the accelerated approval pathway for lecanemab, an investigational anti-amyloid beta protofibril antibody for the treatment of mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease and mild AD with confirmed presence of amyloid pathology in the brain. Eisai's application, which was completed in early May 2022, has been granted Priority Review, with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act, or PDUFA, action date of January 6, 2023. Eisai serves as the lead of lecanemab development and regulatory submissions globally with both Eisai and Biogen co-commercializing and co-promoting the product and Eisai having final decision-making authority. The Clarity AD Phase 3 clinical study for lecanemab in early AD is ongoing and Eisai completed enrollment in March 2021 with 1,795 patients. The readout of the primary endpoint data of Clarity AD will occur in the Fall of 2022. The FDA has agreed that the results of Clarity AD, when completed, can serve as the confirmatory study to verify the clinical benefit of lecanemab. Eisai utilized the FDA's Accelerated Approval Pathway in an effort to streamline the submission process for the potential traditional approval of lecanemab in order to expedite patients' access to lecanemab. Dependent upon the results of the Clarity AD clinical trial, Eisai will submit for traditional approval of lecanemab to the FDA during Eisai's fiscal year 2022, which ends on March 31, 2023. Haruo Naito, Chief Executive Officer at Eisai, said, "The acceptance of lecanemab's BLA with priority review is an important milestone in serving people living with Alzheimer's disease who have been waiting for new treatment options to address an underlying pathology of Alzheimer's disease. We will continue to actively cooperate with the FDA's review in an effort to bring this new treatment option to people living with Alzheimer's disease and their families as soon as possible."

Nexa Resources announced that ramp-up activities at the Aripuana world-class polymetallic mine have safely started and the demobilization of construction teams is underway. Aripuana is located in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil, and is one of the industry's most sustainable mining projects, with nearly 100% of water recirculation and the use of dry stacking and cemented paste backfill for the waste material, the company said. Ignacio Rosado, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are very proud to announce that Aripuana has reached the ramp-up phase, as expected. It is a remarkable accomplishment, and we would like to congratulate the entire team for their commitment to delivering the project."

SilverBow also estimates its Q2 average daily production to be 236 to 238 million cubic feet of gas equivalent, MMcfe/d with about 78% gas, which includes 51 days of production from the SandPoint assets. SilverBow expects to exit December producing approximately 350 MMcfe/d, which represents a 25% increase compared to the Company's average daily production for the month of June. The company states that it has "closed its previously announced acquisition of substantially all of the oil and gas assets from Sundance Energy, Inc. and certain affiliated entities. Total purchase consideration due to Sundance, subject to customary closing adjustments, was comprised of approximately $225 million in cash and 4.1 million shares of SilverBow's common stock. The cash portion of the purchase was funded with cash on hand and borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility. Further, SilverBow updated its outlook to adjust for the recent closings of both the Sundance acquisition and the acquisition of the assets of the oil and gas assets of SandPoint Operating, LLC, a subsidiary of SandPoint Resources, LLC, on May 10, 2022. Additionally, the Company has provided its oil and gas hedged volumes as of the end of the second quarter of 2022." CEO Sean Woolverton says: "The successful closing of this acquisition provides a step-change to SilverBow's production base, drilling inventory and cash flow profile. Our June production rate is set to increase by over 25% to over 58,000 Boe/d by year-end, driven by the combination of acquired production and the increase to our capital program by adding a second rig. Our multi-year growth profile is significant, as we estimate we will grow annual production 30% or more in both 2022 and 2023. Our increased scale is supported by over 600 high-return locations, providing over a decade of drilling inventory at a two-rig pace and operating cash flows that fund our development plan at a re-investment rate of approximately 60%."

The agency said in part: "The U.S. Department of Transportation reassigned, with conditions, 16 peak-hour runway timings, previously operated by Southwest Airlines (LUV), at Newark-Liberty International Airport to Spirit Airlines. Today's action secures low-cost service options for Newark customers and improves competition in the Newark market, which was affected when Southwest Airlines discontinued service there.Today's decision provides certainty to carriers that have been operating at Newark using temporary, ad hoc timings made available while other carriers reduced service during the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the Department's concern over the recent airline cancellations, delays, challenges with customer service and other operational disruptions that have hurt travelers, the Department is requiring Spirit (SAVE), as a condition of accepting the timings, to report additional data on disruptions facing their airline customers and its ability to provide them with accommodations...The 16 timings reassigned were originally operated by Southwest Airlines in 2010 when it acquired them as part of a Department of Justice competition remedy to the United-Continental (UAL) merger. The Department received applications from Spirit and JetBlue Airways (JBLU) for all 16 timings, and from Alaska Airlines (ALK) for four of the timings. After reviewing the applications against the decisional criteria announced by the Department, the Department found that Spirit will best be able to provide competition with all 16 timings, consistent with the Department of Justice's original competition remedy, and is most likely to provide the lowest fares to the most consumers."
